The bats are living in the church's lead roof
|
Special care is being taken to protect bats during a seven-month restoration project on a Lincolnshire church roof damaged by a tornado.
Four species of bat live in the roof space of the Grade I listed All Saints Church in Moulton.
The work, costing around £400,000, is being done while they hibernate and involves special entry and exit points.
The four species of bat - pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle, brown long-eared and whiskered - are protected by law.
English Nature, English Heritage, the Lincoln Diocese and the church's insurers, Ecclesiastical, are being consulted before the scaffolding goes up.
